The centre mostly has raving review here is what Rebecca has to say about Pineapple House Yoga and Surf Retreat in Canggu, Bali
I really wanted to have a relaxing time in Bali without having to organise everything for myself, but didn't want to sign up for a fully fledged retreat. The pineapple house was the best of both worlds! The staff were there to help me organise everything I wanted to do, but I chose my own timetable and I wasn't locked into anything.
The pineapple house is a beautiful villa with clean, spacious rooms with private bathrooms, and a really welcoming common area with a pool. Since I was travelling on my own, it was really nice to be able to talk to other guests occasionally, or just have privacy in my own room. It is just a really nice, welcoming, unpretentious and relaxing space. And it's right next door to one of the best yoga retreats in Bali, so you can choose to do as many classes as you like. Canggu is a really cool area..not crazy like Kuta or up itself like Seminyak. There are some awesome restaurants near the Pineapple house, and I was able to rent a scooter so that I could get to them all.
I would definitely stay at the Pineapple house again, and I would recommend it to anyone going to Bali. (source pineapplehousebali.com)

Here is what Yousra Lembachar a student of Geoff Brooks has to say about his hatha yoga classes
I first took a class with Geoff Brooks 2 years ago and loved every aspect of it. He has a wealth of knowledge that he applies in his classes, gives extremely useful and well researched cues, and really helps understanding how each pose targets different areas of the body, and where the attention needs to go, thus taking your practice to the next level. My body still remembers cues from his classes back from 2 years ago and I just took a couple of classes with him. His sequences are also so much fun. (source facebook reviews)

Here is what Emilie a student of 50 hrs Yin Yoga and Chinese Meridians Teacher Training has to say about Caroline and Serenity Yoga
I had my YTT Yin certification at the Serenity Yoga Lembongan and it was a great experience - first to be in such a beautiful island, secondly the Shala is very well maintained and beautifully comfortable.
Caroline who is the owner and lead teacher for the course is very knowledgeable - the course handouts and daily lectures were very informative. If you want to have a starting point to yin, then it’s a great place to go to.
Caroline keeps the group very small which makes it easier to communicate and learn from each other. It also feels like being with a family for a week.
The rhythm was quite chilled between lectures and practice.
A great way to learn new topics on yoga and be with people from all around the world!
I’ll definitely go back to Serenity (source tripadvisor reviews)
